Based on the excerpt, what is the contextual meaning of the word jostle? although, as we walked to the cova through the tough part of town, walking in the dark, with light and singing coming out of the wine-shops, and sometimes having to walk into the street when the men and women would crowd together on the sidewalk so that we would have had to jostle them to get by, we felt held together by there being something that had happened that they, the people who disliked us, did not understand. a. to struggle or compete forcefully for b. to dodge or go around c. to quarrel or argue with d. to push, elbow, or bump against

Based on this excerpt, the contextual meaning of the word jostle is D: to push, elbow, or bump against.

Explanation:

I chose D because the whole concept of the sentence is to show how, although they found obstacles, like men and women crowded together on the sidewalk, they managed to get by and stick together by pushing them, by making the space for themselves. In this context, the word jostle is to push, to bump against, to elbow; they needed to make space in order to keep walking.

hmm, sadly there is no dialogue. there is no place in the story where he is talking to anyone. it's more of just describing what he eats and where he sleeps. you have to become anne frank, give details of where you are, what other folks look like, how the environment is. have a little bit of dialogue tell of what people are specifically saying. anne frank talked about her entire household including the people, the objects, the lighting, the food they ate, and even the smell in the air. there has to be more to your diary entries, the whole story in its current state is only about peter van daan, the food, the sounds, and where he sleeps. also he seems to be writing only once a year yet more than that happened from day to day. for a friend, i can you write it out, if you want.
